Unsworth: Martinez’s defensive record will worry Everton

Former Everton and Wigan defender David Unsworth believes Roberto Martinez’s poor defensive record during his tenure with the Latics could count against him if he wants the vacant managerial job at Goodison Park.

Unsworth explained that the Spaniard's style of play is in stark contrast to outgoing manager David Moyes’ approach, and that may put the Toffees off appointing the 39-year-old as the new Manchester United boss' successor.

The ex-centre back also added that Latics chairman Dave Whelan is under pressure to sign the right man to replace Martinez, who whom he had a strong connection.
